Tobak

Tobak is a rich, spicy fragrance featuring tobacco leaf, vetiver, and cinnamon notes.

The base contains animalic musks and leather, creating a sense of comfort and warmth. 

This scent was inspired by the memories of Maya's older sister Anette, visiting their grandfather Martin, who was a stoker, pacifist, and compassionate human being. 

An ode to the kindness that Martin embodied.

• Maya Njie

Maya Njie treats perfume as inherited memory. Self-taught, the practice grew through experimentation — raw materials, essential oils, aroma compounds, and resins worked into compositions that trace a dual Swedish and Gambian heritage. The source material is personal: an archive of family photographs, a Swedish summer house, a grandparent's quiet flat, a wedding remembered in fragments. Each scent reconstructs a place, a person, a moment otherwise left to fade.

The results read as deeply personal yet strangely universal — accords nostalgic in tone, formulations that feel contemporary in execution. Each fragrance is conceived to operate as a souvenir, carrying its original association while taking on new meaning for whoever wears it next. The full range is formulated vegan, extending the same care given to memory to the materials themselves.
